A useful abstraction should not hide too much. That is something Abstrax needs to be careful about. The aim is to make common tasks easier to run, while still keeping the command line workflow understandable. https://useabstrax.com

Abstrax came from a very normal annoyance. Knowing what needed doing on a server, but still having to look up the exact command because it was not something used every day. That felt like a useful thing to build around. https://useabstrax.com

I'm bringing something new to the world. Abstrax is an open source CLI for Linux server admin commands you can actually remember. Made for devs who manage their own servers and occasionally end up thinking: “What was the command again?” 🌐 https://useabstrax.com
